Default It's Here!!

I Ordered VR Coupe with A4 on 4-17-05. The Dealer called a little while ago and the car was just being taken off the truck. I set up the delivery for 11am tomorrow and hopefully it will stop raining by then. The weatehr has really been snotty here on Long Island. really looking forward to this new car... Last time I owned a vette was in 1963, so i've waited quire a while for this. I'm sure it will be worth the wait.

Good Luck with the new car. I understand that they have made some improvements in the ride quality of the Corvette since 1963. Hope the weather improves for you soon and your delivery goes well.
